Many lawmakers have been calling for Bush to grant the pardon, which would free the two former agents from prison.
"There's a procedure in place and what I told members of Congress who have written me or called, is 'just look at the case. Look at the facts in the case,'" Bush told FOX News' Neil Cavuto. "People need to understand why these folks were sent to trial and why a jury of their peers convicted them."
Then just tell us, W!
"These guys did very serious crimes and once anybody who knows all the facts of this case — the fact that they shot at an unarmed guy 15 times, lied about it, covered it up, destroyed the evidence ... it's hard for me to imagine a prosecutor would look the other way," he said.
1. It has not been proven that the drug smuggler was unarmed. Sutton has been unable to prove it, yet he states it like it's a fact.
2. Compean and Ramos DID NOT LIE about shooting the drug smuggler. They didn't know that they had until almost a month later!
3. The DID NOT try to "cover it up". They verbally reported to their superiors that they fired their weapons.
4. They DID NOT destroy evidence. Sutton has been harping on this because he claims that the site of the shooting was a "crime scene" and that the BP agents knowingly altered the scene of the crime by picking up their shell casings. That is FALSE. The agents, including the agents that were with them at the time of the shooting, did NOT designate the area a crime scene, since they did NOT know that the drug smuggler had been shot.
JOHNNY SUTTON IS A BALD-FACED LIAR.
